Default Are there any springs that drop the car the advertised height?

I was just wondering if there were any springs out there that actually lowered the car the height that is advertised by the company. I just had an Eibach Pro-kit installed and I am pleased with the quality of the spring and the ride, but the rear was dropped more than 2.25". That is nearly an inch more than advertised by Eibach. Now I am having severe rubbing problems with my tires. I want a look that is lower than stock, but I also want to use the tire/wheel combo that I have. All I am looking for is a spring that rides well and lowers the car 1"-1.5". I would think that these companies have nothing to gain from underestimating there product. I mean if I wanted a drop like that I would have bought the sportlines. However, if they are uderrated then I figure I might should just not use springs at all and just ride around on the bump stops.

I don't know what it is about spring makers, I swear every spring that I have ever install lowers the car MORE than advertised.

Example, SLP Eibach, advertised NOT to lower the car, Lowers it 3/4" to 1" below stock.

That's part of the fun of lowering your car. You install the springs, then get to guess how low it will go. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

I don't know of any companies. It seems like hit or miss. Some people get the advertised lowering, and the rest of us don't.
